Weekly News #74
Hello everyone! On to the news.
Optimization
The best way to show that you love your players is to optimize things! That's why we are optimizing everything and always. Today's optimization will be about the render distance of LODs'. Since most meshes use standard LODs settings, you need to manually set up their render distance option. Previously, most buildings changed their detail level from a large distance, which caused the game to freeze. Now their detail level changes from the short distance which will increase the stable FPS.
